Adventures in the hypershade. Saturday, June 9, 2012. Radial Anisotropy w/ mia material. Anisotropic Brushed Metal Material. Here's how to create a cool, radially anisotropic metal type shader with the mia material in Mental Ray/Maya. PS, For a general introduction to anisotropic materials in CG, I recommend this great article. By Neil Blevins at his CG Education website). Make sure your ramp is set up correctly. Channel set to -1 on left, -2 on right. For a more metallic look, try dialing down the diffu...

Miguel A Santiago Jr. As accurate representations of existing architectural/monolithic shaders used in various 3d renderers, such as Arnold, Vray and Mental Ray, and will allow artists working in Mari to get a much better sense of how their texture maps are going to look in render.

Materialism: Previewing a new Material Presets Manager for mGo! - The Materialiser
http://materialism-blog.blogspot.com/2014/10/previewing-new-material-presets-manager.html
Adventures in the hypershade. Sunday, October 12, 2014. Previewing a new Material Presets Manager for mGo! Create a golden head, just like that. Today though, I will atleast try to merge those two things by previewing a new feature to mGo! Which I've dubbed 'The Materialiser'. This new functionality will allow you to save and load material presets from inside Mari, and of course is designed to work with Antonio's. June 24, 2015 at 6:55 PM. Any news about your awesome project? Polygons, Pixels and Paint.

Adventures in the hypershade. Friday, May 31, 2013. Texture Robot - Home. Ver 13.0 - July 27th, 2013). Version 1.3.0 (July 27, 2013). Added Ptex support for Vray material. Added insert Gamma Nodes option for Linear Workflows (mia mat and Vray Mtl). Bug fix- Some Vray textures failed to assign to file nodes in previous version of TR. Bug fix- The 'create shading network' button lit up green and "textures found" message displayed only if a diffuse file texture was found. Bug fix- Misnamed icon filename.

Adventures in the hypershade. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Texture Robot - Version 1.2.0. I wanted to get a new version of TR out before going overseas, so here it is. The main new feature is a store current config button (top left), which will save you from having to re set things up the way you like them everytime the script is run. The configuration file stores all the suffixes, file extensions, checkbox options and currently selected shader type. Creative Crash has it. Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Texture Ro...

Adventures in the hypershade. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Procedural Dents 'n' Dirt / Downward Drips (Part 3). AO based weathering featuring DDD (Dents, Dirt, Drips). Lately I've been working on trying to get some directionality into an AO weathering type shader. A problem with my previous shader. I'm attaching an .ma scene file shader if anyone would like to experiment (12 mb). Http:/ www.filedropper.com/ddddshader. Just the DDD shader. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Polygons, Pixels and Paint.

Adventures in the hypershade. Thursday, March 15, 2012. Jjj gammaTools 2.0.1. Gamma Correcting for every texture or colour swatch in a large shader network can be a chore. Ive recently begun the search in earnest for useful maya scripts that can help cut down on repetitive tasks. One such gem Ive stumbled across is a very helpful gammaCorrect. If youre unfamiliar with linear workflow, Id highly recommend becoming aquainted with the subject. Its super important.)*. Here is the MEL script. Awesome Inc....

Materialism: Thinking 'bout Mari
http://materialism-blog.blogspot.com/2013/12/thinking-bout-mari.html
Adventures in the hypershade. Saturday, December 14, 2013. There has to be a better name for this thing. This is currently just concepting an idea. I've been inspired recently by Dave Girard's Mari Me. Script for Maya- I thought it might be fun to see how Python works in Mari and started wondering about a Texture Robot type script which works across Mari and Maya, sending out the locations of flattened channels to Maya to be hooked into shading networks, a la Texture Robot.
